Wine is still drinking beautifully with generous zinfandel fruit and food friendly body. Maybe a little intensity has been exchanged for a nice elegance over the wines 15 years. 91

This 20 year old Petite Sarah was an unexpected treat. I expected a tired out of steam wine and this was anything but that, vibrant dark fruit lead a beautiful wine that seems to be just coming into it’s own. I’m glad I lost track of this one and will hesitate before opening another Carlisle Petite Sarah before it’s 20 birth year. 93

Drank this beauty with brazed veil, mashed potato’s and fresh corn. The fully mature Cab fit right in to the savory meal. Inky dark color led to a fully integrated lush dark berry fruit with just enough tannins left to give the wine its beautiful structure. Gorgeous wine, that was perfect with the meal. 95
